I'm not sure I am understanding which rubber seal you are working with, but I am thinking it is the wind wing assembly seals?

If that is the case, I feel your pain...

I redid mine many years ago, and to me they just sucked. The window vent would never close just as it should, they leaked air/water and just plain looked like crap. The rubber was all bacon along the door, and my eye's would go directly to the ugly look every time.

About a week ago, I installed two new complete window vent assemblies. So much happier now, since my old glass was starting to fog along the edges. The new ones open and close as they should, and there is no more areas for water and or wind to get through.
